Jones Field at Santa Paula High School is being renovated with a new synthetic field, all-weather track, new lighting and scoreboard along with a new entrance and ticket booth. Construction should be completed this fall.
The final design of the entrance plaza will incorporate a walkway of 4- by 8-inch bricks. Students, families, alumni and friends of Santa Paula High are invited to join the celebration by purchasing an engraved brick for $100. All funds generated go to Santa Paula High athletics and the school's bands, and bricks are tax deductible.
A personalized brick can include the buyer's name; names of relatives or classmates; class year; a tribute to a friend, teacher, coach or loved one; or a display of Cardinal pride. Messages must fit on three lines with up to 23 characters per line (spaces and punctuation count as characters).
The deadline to purchase bricks is Sept. 30. Purchase forms are available in the main office at Santa Paula High School or at the district office at 500 East Santa Barbara St.
For information, call 525-4406, ext. 2001 or ext. 2702.

"Campfires Remembered" Details High Sierra Adventures
 What are the odds that a native Ventura beach girl would end up spending summer seasons "playing cowboy" and packing mules in the High Sierra?
Almost 20 summer seasons in the high country has given Dena Mercer plenty to write about in her new book, "Campfires Remembered: Memoirs of a Mountain Lady."
Teaching special needs and at-risk students during the fall and winter months, Dena, a fifth-generation native of Ventura, had a yearning for a different kind of adventure. She and her daughter, Lori, packed up their horses and mules and moved to the High Sierra each summer to cowboy and pack mules. Making the wilderness home for nearly 20 seasons, they thrived in a backcountry environment that offered common-sense simplicity, solitude and challenges.
"Campfires Remembered" is available at The Wharf in Ventura, Ventura Hay Company and online at CampfiresRemembered.com.
John Cressy of Whisenhunt Communications has distributed press releases about the new book to media in Ventura County and throughout the high Sierra.

Picture Perfect
Facebook page up and ready: check. Twitter account started and tweeting regularly: check. Business website updated with fresh content and current pictures: check.
Ok, so your social media seems up-to-date, which of course, is important. Social media and websites are not static things; they must be kept current, with new content posted regularly in order for them to be as effective as possible.
But what about the photos you post, specifically, what about the pictures of the business owner and staff? Does your Facebook or website profile picture reflect the image you want in public?
Keep in mind that the cute photo of you with your kids and Santa at the mall, that crooked shot of you having a toast at a bar with some pals, or the picture of you surfing in the ocean might give too much information -- or at least not put your best business face forward.
Plenty of Facebook profile pictures show people's pets, kids, first-grade school mug shots, cartoon characters and the like. This might be a clever photo idea for your 16-year-old but not for the owner of a serious company using Facebook to promote business. Consider photos and the messages they send when posting images of your family, pets and vacations on business social media sites.
